National Census Report 2001, St. Vincent and the GrenadinesIt could be argued that there is no need to have CXC and GCE if the intention is to become ahousewife or stay-at-home man. However, having achieved this level of education could equipthe person in better managing the household and assisting the children with their assignments.The shift in housewives with higher education is evident in the data; among those 25 to 44 years,8.03 per cent had CXC and GCE, while among the younger housewives 18.68 per cent of themhad this level of educational qualification.The high percentage of women engaged in home duties also reflects the need for affordable andadequate day care. The high cost of day care could affect women’s participation in the labourforce, especially those who have limited education and skill to attract higher paying jobs. Mostof their weekly wage goes towards paying for day care. Therefore, they prefer to stay at homeand care for the child rather than to pay a sitter and be left with very little income for thehousehold.There are opportunities for housewives in low income households to benefit from povertyreduction projects that are sponsored by the Gender Affairs Division of the Ministry of SocialDevelopment. These projects provide poultry and livestock, as well as feed for women to getstarted in producing for their family and eventually for sale. There are other home economiccourses available for housewives.140
